We celebrated my Papa Ace's 91st birthday earlier this month. All his children, plus all the grandchildren and great-grandchilren within driving distance attended. My Papa Ace has always been so near and dear to my heart. He did so much to help raise and care for me and my brothers. He is a hard-working, no nonsense man with an amazingly generous and tender heart. I have so many fond memories of his kindness and sacrifice. He took me and my brothers to McDonalds almost every Saturday to give my mom a break. He took us to Utah Lake to feed the ducks. And it wasn't uncommon to come home after school and find a pot of his homemade stew on the stove for us. I love my dear Papa Ace!
